Log Rotate
Hi all,
Does the ReadyNAS Pro 6 (or other variants) have an in-built mechanism for rotating / purging logs once they exceed a certain age / size?
If not, is there a way to clear them down? Using frontview does not clear all of the logs on the device.
Thanks...

By size, yes.- Thanks any ideas on size?
Does this include all logs? Are the old ones simply purged or archived?
Finally, can this be invoked manually? - Take a look at /etc/cron.daily/logtruncate
- OK... So things like backup logs are not purged according to these.
- Do we know how the backup logs get cleared?
- You can delete the backup job logs one by one using Frontview.
Backup job logs are more important than other logs so don't get pruned as much as the others.
If a backup fails you want to know why it fails (e.g. on which file).
